摘要

Evidence for the generalized anomeric effect (GAE) in the N-acyl-1,3-thiazolidines, an important structural motif in the penicillins, was sought in the crystal structures of N-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-1,3-thiazolidine and its (2:1) complex with mercuric chloride, N-acetyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine, and the (2:1) complex of N-benzoyl-1,3-thiazolidine with mercuric bromide. An inverse relationship was generally observed between the C₂–N and C₂–S bond lengths of the thiazolidine ring, supporting the existence of the GAE. (Maximal bond length changes were 0.04 Å for C₂–N₃, S₁–C₂, and 0.08 Å for N₃–C₆.) Comparison with N-acylpyrrolidines and tetrahydrothiophenes indicates that both the nitrogen-to-sulphur and sulphur-to-nitrogen GAE’s operate simultaneously in the 1,3-thiazolidines, the former being dominant. (This is analogous to the normal and exo-anomeric effects in pyranoses, and also leads to an interesting application of Baldwin’s rules.) The nitrogen-to-sulphur GAE is generally enhanced in the mercury(II) complexes (presumably via coordination at the sulphur); a ‘competition’ between the GAE and the amide resonance of the N-acyl moiety is apparent. There is evidence for a ‘push–pull’ charge transfer between the thiazolidine moieties in the mercury(II) complexes, and for a ‘back-donation’ of charge from the bromine atoms to the thiazolidine moieties in the HgBr₂ complex. (The sulphur atom appears to be sp² hybridised in the mercury(II) complexes, possibly for stereoelectronic reasons.) These results are apparently relevant to the mode of action of the penicillins.
